Description

Environmental monitoring system

The present invention relates to a monitoring system, in particular to a monitoring system for detecting whether there are abnormal conditions in the environment.

In today's society, environmental safety has always been one of the goals that the industry attaches great importance to. The scope of environmental safety includes not only the pre-prevention and post-processing of natural disasters such as fire and poison gas leakage, but also the prevention and treatment of natural disasters. Responding to an intrusion by an unscrupulous person.

At present, most monitoring systems for environmental safety are implemented through sensors installed in the environment. When any one of the sensors senses an abnormality in the environment, it will send out a signal. corresponding measures.

Although current surveillance systems can detect environmental anomalies and send out signals, there are still some flaws. In detail, in the current monitoring system, when the sensor detects an abnormal environment and sends out a signal, the administrator can only know the sensor that sent the signal from the monitoring system. Knowing the actual location where the abnormal situation actually occurred, therefore, when the manager goes directly to the site where the environmental abnormality occurs, because the manager does not know the actual environmental situation, he may be caught in such as poison gas leakage, fire, or suffer from in danger of an intruder attack.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an environment monitoring system capable of locating abnormal positions.

Therefore, the environmental monitoring system of the present invention includes a plurality of sensors, a server, and a monitoring device.

The sensors are used to jointly define a monitoring area and each generate a sensing data about the monitoring area.

The server terminal is in communication connection with the sensors for receiving the sensing data generated by the sensors to determine whether there are at least three abnormal data generated by the at least three sensors respectively, and When the server determines that there are the at least three pieces of abnormal data, a location area is generated based on the at least three pieces of abnormal data.

The monitoring device includes a body for moving in the monitoring area, a control computing module communicatively connected to the server, and a photographing module disposed on the body and electrically connected to the control computing module. The control operation module controls the body to move to the actual position corresponding to the position area according to the position area.

The effect of the present invention is that: the server generates a location area according to at least three pieces of abnormal data generated by at least three sensors, so as to locate the location where the abnormal situation occurs, and controls the monitoring device to move to the location area according to the location area. Corresponding to the actual location of the location area, we can find out what the actual abnormal situation is, so as to avoid the situation where managers are not aware of the actual environmental conditions and put themselves in danger.

Referring to FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the environmental monitoring system of the present invention includes a plurality of sensors 2 , a server 1 , and a monitoring device 3 .

The sensors 2 are arranged at intervals in the space to jointly define a monitoring area, such as factories, factories, and even parks and other environments. Preferably, the installation positions of the sensors 2 are different A straight line, in other words, at least three of the sensors 2 are arranged in a triangular shape, and can jointly define a monitoring area to sense the abnormality of the environment. Furthermore, each sensor 2 can detect The abnormal environmental conditions of the monitoring area are converted into digital signals in the form of analog signals, so as to generate a sensing data of the monitoring area. In this embodiment, the sensors may be used to sense the ambient temperature. temperature sensor, or smoke sensor, gas sensor for sensing the concentration of suspended particles in the air, or wind sensor for sensing wind speed, etc., to meet the various needs of different environments .

The server 1 corresponds to a manager, and is connected to the sensors in communication for receiving the sensing data generated by the sensors 2, and the sensors 2 are arranged in the space for use in When the monitoring area is jointly defined, the server 1 stores the position data of each sensor 2 , such as position coordinates.

When the sensors are in operation, the server 1 continuously receives the sensing data generated by each sensor for monitoring the environmental conditions of the monitoring area. In particular, when the server 1 determines from the sensing data generated by the sensors that there are at least three abnormal data in the sensing data generated by the at least three sensors 2 respectively, the servo The terminal generates a location area based on the location data of the at least three sensors 2 .

The monitoring device 3 includes a main body 31 for moving in the monitoring area, a control arithmetic module 33 communicatively connected to the server 1 , and a control arithmetic module 33 disposed on the main body 31 and electrically connected to the control arithmetic module 33 In this embodiment, the monitoring device is a self-propelled vehicle with a photographing function.

In the above-mentioned embodiment of the environmental monitoring system of the present invention, when the sensors 2 are temperature sensors for sensing the ambient temperature in the actual operation, the sensors 2 continue to The sensed ambient temperature is continuously provided to the server terminal 1 in the form of digital signals, and the server terminal 1 continuously receives the sensing data generated by each sensor 2 for monitoring the ambient temperature condition of the monitoring area.

When the ambient temperature measured by the three sensors 2 is greater than a threshold value, the server 1 generates an area 200 related to the possible abnormality according to the position data of the three sensors 2, respectively. Then, it is judged whether the three area ranges 200 have an intersection. When the server 1 determines that the intersection is a point, the server 1 confirms that the coordinates of the point are the location area where the abnormal situation occurs, and transmits the coordinates of the point to the Control the arithmetic module 33, so that when the control arithmetic module 33 receives the coordinates of the point, it can directly control the main body 32 to move to the actual location of the location area, and shoot a plurality of pictures related to the actual location through the photographing module 32. The images are then sent to the server 1 by the control operation module 33. At this time, the server 1 displays these images at the same time when receiving the images, so that the administrator can move to the actual location through the monitoring The images captured by the device 3 directly understand the current situation of the actual location where the abnormal situation occurs, and then take corresponding measures, thereby avoiding the risk of going directly to the actual location to understand the situation.

On the other hand, when the server 1 determines that the intersection of the regions 200 is not a point, the server 1 calculates the average of the boundary coordinates according to all the boundary coordinates of the intersection of the regions 200 value, and define the average value as the location area of the area range, and then transmit the location area to the monitoring device 3, so that the monitoring device 3 moves to the actual location area according to the location area (ie, the average value). Location, similarly, when the monitoring device 3 moves to the actual location, the photographing module 32 captures a plurality of images related to the actual location, and transmits the images to the server 1 .

It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment of the environmental monitoring system of the present invention, the server 1 can also store a face recognition model. When the server 1 receives the image from the monitoring device 3, the server 1 can use it. The face recognition model determines whether an intruder is included in the image. Specifically, the server stores multiple pieces of face data related to members who are allowed to enter the monitoring area, such as the face database of factory employees. When the terminal 1 receives the image, the server 1 uses the face recognition model to judge whether there is a face area related to the human face in the image, and further judges whether the face area in the image belongs to these people according to the face data. One of the face data, when it is judged that the face area in the image does not belong to one of the face data, the server 1 defines an abnormal environment where an intruder enters, and generates relevant information to enable managers to take appropriate action.

In addition, the control arithmetic module 33 of the monitoring device 3 also stores a map related to the monitoring area. When the control arithmetic module 33 receives the location area from the server 1, the control arithmetic module 33 executes the map and The location area generates the fastest or optimal moving route for the monitoring device 3 to move from the current location to the actual location corresponding to the location area, so as to control the main body 31 to move to the actual location according to the moving route for imaging.

To sum up, in the environmental monitoring system of the present invention, according to the at least three abnormal data generated by the sensors 2, the server 1 uses the positions of the sensors 2 to generate information related to abnormal conditions. The location area, whereby the server 1 can accurately locate the actual location where the abnormal situation occurs, so that the administrator can know the actual location where the abnormal situation occurs. Further, the monitoring device 3 receives the In the location area, the monitoring device 3 moves to the actual location corresponding to the location area, and shoots a plurality of images and sends them to the server 1, so that the server 1 displays the images, so that the administrator can not only use the The environmental monitoring system of the present invention knows the actual location where the abnormal situation actually occurs, and further, the administrator can also directly know the current situation of the actual location where the abnormal situation occurs through the images taken by the monitoring device 3 directly moving to the actual location, This avoids the risks that may be encountered when directly going to the site to check the situation to find the actual location where the abnormal situation occurs. The object of the present invention can be achieved.
